Expectation from the Anime
It is still unknown that if the anime is going to be an original action-wrestling anime or going to be based or inspired on the huge library of characters. As it will be a massive collaboration with WWE so we can hope that most parts of the anime and fights are going to take place in the arena. As it’ll be made for the promotion of the wrestling franchise so we can see several WWE references in it.
